Templates: a LinkedIn message to an event attendee
The best message to an event attendee names the event and one real thing you share, then asks one easy question. Send it soon, while the event is fresh. Below are four versions: a connection note after meeting, a thank you after a talk, a follow up to a webinar attendee and a message to someone who registered but did not come.

The text
Hi [first name], good to meet you at [event]. I enjoyed our chat about [topic]. Let us stay in touch here.
Hi [first name], thank you for coming to my session at [event]. You asked about [their question], and I should have added [one useful point]. Happy to share the slides if useful.
Hi [first name], thanks for joining [webinar name] on [date]. The part on [topic] seemed relevant to your work at [company]. Would you like the recording and a short checklist?
Hi [first name], sorry we missed you at [webinar name]. Here is the recording: [link]. If the [topic] part is useful for [company], I can point you to the two minutes that matter.
Why each line is there
| Line | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Name the event | It answers who you are and why you wrote in one phrase. |
| One real detail | A line about their question or your talk shows you did not copy and paste. |
| Send soon | A message a few days after the event is a follow up. A month later it is cold. |
| Offer something useful | A recording, slides or a checklist gives them a reason to reply. |
| No pitch in the first message | Earn the conversation first. Ask for a call only after a reply. |
What it measured
No data yet. Sellinger has not measured results for this exact text, so this page makes no claim about replies, meetings or revenue. Measured campaigns are in the case studies.
For how to turn event contacts into a list in the first place, read LinkedIn event attendees as leads and the event and webinar invitations use case.
When not to use it
- When you do not know whether they attended. Do not say you met if you did not.
- When you cannot say anything specific about the event. Send nothing generic.
- When the event's own rules forbid contacting attendees for sales. Check the organiser's terms first.
- When they already declined your connection. Do not send it again.
How to use it in Sellinger
Leave it to the agent, which writes each message from the lead's own data and your persona, or paste this text into a step in Flow-Maker in the campaign's configuration drawer. The step's instruction box personalises a pasted message with the lead's data, so read the first sends before you widen the campaign. Import the attendee list as a campaign and give the persona the event name and a line on what was covered, so each message can name it. LinkedIn sends are limited per account: Every connected account has daily limits that the agent cannot exceed, set per account. LinkedIn defaults are 20 invitations a day and 150 a week. Email defaults to 50 sends a day per mailbox, with an optional warm up that starts at 5 a day and doubles every 3 days up to the limit.
